john..
thanks for the response...
but i don't need a multiple select.. what i need are multiple select/menu
lists...
list1    list2   list3....
however, the issue i'm really facing is how to detect that a user has
actually selected an item in a given list, as opposed to the app simply
returning the 1st item of a list, as the default if the list is not
selected.... this is consistent with what the rfc/spec states the behavior
should be...
Ahhhh....then just do your select like this...
<select name="foo">
        <option />
        <option val="1" />fff
        <option val="2" />aaa
So on and so forth.  Leave the first <option> empty, and on the 
resulting page, if the user didn't select anything, $_POST['foo'] will 
not have a value.

if ( $_POST['foo'] == "" ) {
        //user didn't select anything
}
